Feb 21-25: Earth's Changes (Fast & Slow)

It's been a long, but fun week in 8th grade science. Here's what we've been doing:

Monday - Finish fossils notes (p8). Use the rest of the time to make up anything students may need to.
Tuesday - Slow & Fast Changes of the Earth (p9 - we watched some pretty awesome clips showing lava flows, mudslides, glacier calving, etc. - pretty impressive stuff).
Wednesday - Finish p9 & Candy Quakes Lab (p10 - it must be good if it involves smashing candybars as thought they were tectonic plates).
Thursday - Collection of Superhero picture, research, & superhero persona sheet for student led conferences.
Thursday & Friday - In the Shadow of Vesuvius (movie about one of the world's most famous volcanoes and the people who lived, and who live there).

Next week (around Tuesday) we will have our geology unit final - please encourage your students to study, study, study!
